To sum up the total average CPU usage.
The P4 was using : 1008Mhz
The p3 was using : 576Mhz
I also joined the servers to see the performance ingame - both were
about equal.So we've got quite a large usage difference of 432Mhz!
Anyone care to shed some light?
The P4 is a marketing chip. It's not actually meant to give good
performance. Instead, it's meant to sound good to ignorant end-users.
Intel takes advantage of them by giving them a crappy design, but with
really high clock speeds, and then forces major manufacturers like Dell
to use nothing else. And if you want "good performance", you pay out
the nose for the highest-end CPU, the latest in inefficient design.
